Example of how to write a C# application that works on PPC and Smartphone

[Jay]

Hello All,

I am just wondering if there are any examples out there that
demonstrates how to create an application that will work on the PPC and
the Smartphone.

regards,
Jay

The tips in the article that Brian references (although they are for
eVC++ 4.0, and the OP asked about C#) are still valid, IMO (although you
need to put a .NET CF spin on them).

One option that you may wish to consider (possibly violating your
initial constraint) is to create different UIs for the respective
platforms implemented with a pattern such as MVP or MVC to get all of
the logic out of the UI. Outside of the UI, all business logic is
platform-independent, so you'll have no worries there. The data layer is
potentially platform-independent as well, but it depends on what version
of PPC/SP you are on and what your data store is. (e.g. SQL Mobile 2005
runs on both WM5.0 PPC & WM5.0 SP, but SQL CE 2.0 only runs on WM2003
PPC, not WM2003 SP).
